Shocked that RR didn't start Kotsay here. He has a homerun off Garcia!!! I feel good about this series and, if Marcum feels okay, think we can take it.
Looks like another great turnout at MP. Impressive on a Wednesday afternoon. Marco doesn't look half-bad today either. Worried about a second time through the lineup though.
Man Casey is slow. Glad that wasn't Rickie running out that ball that Yuni hit. Pretty sure he'd try to extend it to a double. I think Marcum will be fine. Just looked like he tweaked it. He wasn't grimacing too bad as he walked off.
I see this going one of two ways: Wakefield totally shuts us down for 8 innings and we meet Pabelbon or we knock Wakefield out by the 3rd inning and we nervously cling to a 5+ run lead.
I'm flying to Boston tomorrow and coming back early Saturday. If the Friday game gets rained out, I'm [expletive deleted]. We have two extras too if anyone is interested. (edit: language --1992)
This is going to be another tough game. As bad as the Cubs are, if their starting rotation had somewhat panned out they could've been a .500 ballclub. Garza is only a tier below Marcum
